Service history
The two members of the A class, nos D19 and D20, were ordered in 1919 and completed in 118 working days. They were dismantled, boxed, and shipped on 5 April 1920, before entering service later that year.[1]
Both locomotives survived the dieselisation of the MRWA in 1958 as emergency power. They were written off in April 1963, and scrapped soon afterwards.[2]
gollark: The unusedosmarksGPU™ can do 2TFLOP/s of compute and probably cause some kind of power supply issue because it's PCIe-powered, and thus shares its electricity with the HDD controller card.
gollark: Your GPU is far inferior to the unusedosmarksGPU™.
gollark: My server's GPU is far too underutilized.
gollark: Idea: GPU-accelerated osmarks internet radio™, somehow.
gollark: I guess there are per-PCIe-slot costs.
